My company is working on mine. I'm hoping to be out of here in 6 months. If you are an engineer Australia literally will blow you to get you over there, it's awesome. I'm using my company to expedite it and then I don't know if I'm ever coming back hahaha.

This might be true, I just don't know though.

I know unemployment is high and inflation I looming, but we're not currently much worse off than we were in the early 70s.

I think that odds are, we will slog along in this manner, make very slow and hard-fought gains in GDP and employment for the next 5-10 years. Then things will be "OK" again. Not "1998 great" but maybe "2005 OK".

That's my plan if my visa runs up. I also got a buddy up there who says the southern accent for the girls down there is like the Australian accent for girls down here so I been practicing my twang hahaha.

Personally, I don't ever want to retire. I really think I would get bored after a few months. But I want to have a job where at a certain age I can just be the name of the company and come and go as I please for the most part, leaving the managing and all that to others.
